"Sam, A Shaggy Dog Story" by Sally Cronin is the wonderful story of a dog and his life with the author's family, told from the dog's perspective. It doesn't get cuter than that, and as triple dog owner I enjoyed every minute of it. Cronin does a great job at getting into 'character' and creating this original and lovely take at what that dog's life might have been perceived in a humanised dog-brain.Illustrated with pictures and full of lovely anecdotes this is a beautiful piece of art that will have dog owners in stitches and tears alike. It may be difficult to get it wrong with dog books, but this one is brilliant. Enjoy!
